For some, owning a Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG just isn’t enough. There are those that need to truly stand out from the crowd, and if you ever get a chance to cruise the streets of Beverly Hills, you’ll understand why. Literally, everyone and their mom owns a Mercedes SL. There are so many Mercedes that roam Sunset Blvd, it’s as if they were as inexpensive as a Honda Civic.
So what’s a rich guy to do to make a statement? Introducing the Fisker Tramonto. Developed by world-renowed auto designer, Henrik Fisker, he’ll take your SL55 AMG and drop it like it’s hot. All the body panels are replaced with lightweight carbon fiber and each piece gets a nice face lift. The engine gets a bit of tweaking from Kleemann so that it can belt out more than 610 horsepower and take you from 0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds.
The myriad Mercedes-Benz technological innovations, from the power-retractable hardtop to Active Body Control (ABC), remain untouched – as do safety systems, including crumple zones and airbags. At the same time, the Tramonto has become something much more, and the differences will raise your SL55 to a new height of exoticness.
All this can be yours for just the base price of a SL55 ($128,800) and that $108,000 you have laying around that you don’t know what to do with.
see a couple of this in Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach
Sweet car, but why didn’t they start with the SL65 instead?
i dont like mercedes… i prefer porsche
Looks like a beast, German engineering couldn’t be more deadlier..
the aston martin vanquish s is still numero uno but this is a close second
The head of that car is so aston martin-ish, i would be the audi r8 over this car just cause i like the look of audi
Mimicry is plagiarism. They’ve just copied the Vanquish flash and the grandeur of the SLs.
